Synopsis Organic Compounds of Mercury (Classic Reprint) by : Frank C. Whitmore

Excerpt from Organic Compounds of Mercury The Council, acting through the Committee on National Policy of the American Chemical Society, appointed the editors, named at the close of this introduction, to have charge of securing authors, and of considering critically the manuscripts prepared. The editors of each series will endeavor to select topics which are of current interest and authors who are recognized as authorities in their respective fields. The list of monographs thus far secured appears in the publisher's own announcement elsewhere in this volume.

Synopsis Solution and Electrolysis (Classic Reprint) by : William Cecil Dampier Whetham

Excerpt from Solution and Electrolysis When we dissolve sodium chloride in water an absorp tion of heat is observed. That is to say, if both salt and water when separate are at the temperature of the air, after the solution is formed its temperature is lower. On the other hand caustic potash gives an evolution of heat on dissolving and the temperature rises. During solution there are usually changes in volume. In all but rare cases contraction occurs, and the volume of the resultant solution is less than the sum of the volumes of the solvent and the substance dissolved, or solvend. The boiling point of a salt solution is higher than that of pure water; and when it is remembered that a liquid boils when the pressure of its vapour is equal to the atmospheric pressure acting on it, we see at once that this statement is equivalent to saying that the vapour pressure of water is reduced by the dissolved salt. The steam which comes off however is the steam of pure water and will be found to assume the temperature at which pure water boils. Thermometers are graduated by marking on them the places at which the mercury stands at the freezing point and boiling point of water. It will be now seen why it is necessary during the latter operation to put the instrument in the steam and not in the water, which may contain impurities and be consequently boiling at a temperature slightly above 100 C. - its normal boiling point. Closely connected with this lowering of the vapour pressure is the lowering of the freezing point also pro duced by the substance in solution. Thus salt water does not freeze at a temperature low enough to solidify fresh water. Here again it is important to observe that the ice frozen out is the ice of pure water. Sometimes, par ticularly if the process of freezing has been rapid, particles of solid salt are shut in by the ice, and therefore redissolve when it is melted, but they are quite distinctly separated from the solid ice and never crystallize out in combination with it.

Synopsis Tables of the Properties of Saturated Steam and Other Vapors (Classic Reprint) by : Cecil Hobart Peabody

Excerpt from Tables of the Properties of Saturated Steam and Other Vapors Pressure of Steam at Latitude - French System. It is customary to reduce all measurements to the latitude of and to sea-level. The stand ard thermometer should then have its boiling and freezing points determined under, or reduced to such conditions. The value of g, the acceleration due to gravity, is, at Paris, latitude 48° 50' 14 and 60 metres above sea-level, metres; and at and at sea-level, it is metres. Con sequently, 760 mm. Of mercury at 45° gives a pressure equal to that of mm. At Paris; and this corresponds to a temperature of C. In other words, the thermometer which is standard at 45° has each degree of the length of the degree of a thermometer standard at Paris.

Synopsis Ignition! by : John Drury Clark

This newly reissued debut book in the Rutgers University Press Classics Imprint is the story of the search for a rocket propellant which could be trusted to take man into space. This search was a hazardous enterprise carried out by rival labs who worked against the known laws of nature, with no guarantee of success or safety. Acclaimed scientist and sci-fi author John Drury Clark writes with irreverent and eyewitness immediacy about the development of the explosive fuels strong enough to negate the relentless restraints of gravity. The resulting volume is as much a memoir as a work of history, sharing a behind-the-scenes view of an enterprise which eventually took men to the moon, missiles to the planets, and satellites to outer space. A classic work in the history of science, and described as “a good book on rocket stuff…that’s a really fun one” by SpaceX founder Elon Musk, readers will want to get their hands on this influential classic, available for the first time in decades.

Synopsis ASTORIA (A Western Classic) by : Washington Irving

This carefully crafted ebook is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. "Astoria" tells the story of survival and the difficulties faced by the people who undertook the tremendous Oregon Trail in 1810-1812 encountering harsh environment and hostile native Indians and still carrying on with their journeys. This is the founding story of Astoria and the people who made it possible... Excerpt: "Two leading objects of commercial gain have given birth to wide and daring enterprise in the early history of the Americas; the precious metals of the South, and the rich peltries of the North..." Washington Irving (1783–1859) was an American short story writer, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century.
